Pneumatics Help!

Hi, I was wondering if any of the teams out there could help us. Our question is that in the pneumatics manual under flow controls, it says that you always mount a flow control into the porst of the cylinders before you hook up the tubing. But in team update number three, it says that you can only use the pneumatics that are given to us in the kit with exception to the cylinders. Our question is... since only six flow control valves are given to us, how are we suppose to hook up four or more cylinders to our robot. Right now we are using two flow controls per cylinder, one on each side... are we suppose to use only one?

I don't think we used flow control valves on our cylinders, although i may be wrong (I'm not completely sure what flow control valves look like). Anyway, look at the attached picture -- you can see the valves we used. Whatever they are, they worked for us.

You have 6 flow control valves, and you have 3 solenoid valves, and each solenoid valve takes two hoses out to cylinders right? We figured we can put the flow controllers on the ports on the solenoid valve and then split the hose from each flow control valve. I can draw a nifty little doodle too if ya need.

P.S. to Patrick: Those gray things are the flow controllers.
